Did the new cylinder not come with a plain, round bezel (the one I just replaced did)? Fit that until the pull comes? Or do you have no other way of pulling the door shut?

It did, and I'll fit that if I end up with no choice, but I'll wait it out as it'll look ugly otherwise.
I was only spurred into doing this as cylinder on the outer door (which we share with the upstairs flat) stopped working earlier this week and my upstairs neighbour fixed it and it reminded me that the cylinder on our own front door is a bit sticky. I'd expected the existing cylinder to not be wedged into the cylinder pull and I'd be able to reuse it.
No problems with Royal Mail for me, other things ordered have arrived on time, this one is due Friday so we'll see.
Also all of the local locksmiths / key-cutters were closed today so we (in our flat) are still sharing a single key (not that this is much of a problem in Corona-times).

Swapping out a Yale cylinder lock. Easy job really, unless the cylinder is stuck to the existing cylinder pull (and replacing it without a cylinder pull would be fugly).
Of course, in the few days it'll take me to source a new cylinder pull (ordered one from eBay just in case) I bet the cylinder gives out and we're locked in/out.
